>>56954It's not that I liked them so much as I think 4chan has too many boards and too many moderators. There's a balance between on-topic and fun, but the staff lost their way about five years ago. That's why /sp/ is awful now and both /b/ and /pol/ haven't been fun in years.
It's the natural order of things: we came from SA and look at them now. Eventually happenings will stop... happening... and this site will enter a slow decline until there's nothing but us bitter oldfags. Maybe that's decades away, but people are going to go where they can be themselves. moot knew that, which is why moot is kill.
And no, bitter extra-chans aren't going to amount to anything. They'll always be cheap knockoffs (irony, I know) and those communities are always full of empty niche boards that never build new communities.
